How Do You Make Iced Tea?

For the perfect cup of loose leaf tea, you’ll always want to:

here are two primary methods of brewing the perfect cup of loose leaf iced tea: the concentrate method and the cold brew method.

  • For the Concentrate Method: brew a concentrate by using half the water (for a 16oz glass, brew 2 tsp of loose-leaf tea in 8oz of hot water) and then shake in a tumbler of ice after steeping!
  • The Cold Brew Method: this method takes longer. You should place 1-2 tsp of loose-leaf tea per 8oz of water in cold water and let it brew in the fridge for 8-12 hours.

Can Any Tea be Iced?

YES! Any loose leaf tea can be brewed hot or cold – it just depends on what flavors you prefer. We often comment that some taste better one way or the other, but truthfully you never know until you try, so get icing! What’s your favorite tea to make iced tea out of?
